Four Typical American Women The Wives of the Four Principal National Candidates Kr?. Ida Saxton McKinley is a granddaughter of John Saxton, the founder of the Canton Repository. The families of both her parents were smong the pioneers of Ohio. She was born in Canton June 8, 3847. She sent to the seminary at Media, fc'a., but delicacy of constitution com piled her to leave the school at 16 years of age and continue her educa tion at home. Her father, James Sax ton, was an advocate of business edu cation for women, and she spent some time as his assistant in the Saxton bank at Canton. After the close of the civil war she was sent to Europe to finish her education, and upon her return made the acquaintance of Maj. McKinley, to whom she was married en January £5, 1871. The invalidism which has so strongly brought out I'resident McKinley's devotion to his wife did not attack her until after tier marriage. The home life of the president and bis wife is ideal, and <Je*pite hpr physical weakness Mrs. JVlcKinley says she is the happiest of women. The president likes nothing better than to tell of the assistance fcie wife has been to him in his work. Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt was Miss Edith Kermit Carow when she was married to the now candidate for vice president in 1886. She is a handsome ■woman, well educated, and thorough ly familiar with the requirements of •society. She is a warm admirer of Grover Grover Cleveland, especially as a wife and mother, and warmly ap proves the declaration of the former president's wife that children belong exclusively to the home and fireside, end should never know they are ob jects of public interest, especially dur ing a political campaign. She is care ful to screen her children in all ways possible from photographers, and likewise shuns publicity for herself. She declares children, if promiscuous ly admired, become self-consciouf. vain and conceited, and lose those traits of innocence and loveliness beautiful in children. There are six children The eldest, Alice, aged 16, Is a child by Gov. Roosevelt'B first HAIR BRUSH AND COMB. Thplr Vcjflcrlcil Condition IN Sftill to Uv Itei*pon*lhle for Muny Cnn«n of Scalp Trouble. "The thing I'd like to impress upon Ihe public is the vital importance of clean hair brushes," ays a scalp spe cialist "The condition of the average liair brush is simply disgraceful and makes a perfect mass of infection. The brush should be washed every week, and washing isn't enough, it (should be thoroughly sterilized at least twice a month. All hair does not need much brushing, and the kind cf brusli required depends upon the peculiarities of the scalp, A stiff brush is necessary for some heads and fatal to others, and one's brush should xeally be prescribed by a competent (specialist. Then, the comb should be m dim-rent thing from the ordinary af fair. It should be coarse. A fine comb is all wrong. The teeth should round both on the sides and the ends, to that it will g.ide smoothly through ■the hair, and there shouldn't be any corners between the teeth. "Women keep their hair better than men. In the first place there's more t)f it and thc r scalps are better pro tected, but they wear their hats so much less than men, and the liats, •when they are worn, do riot fit the bead so tightiy and create such a heat find moisture, generating poison, as ■the man's hat docs.

Mrs. Roosevelt was at Philadelphia with her husband. Mrs. \V. J. Bryan was Mary Baird, of Perry, 111., and was married to Mr. Bryan on October 1, 1884. She at tended the female academy in Jack sonville when he was in another school at the same place, and was graduated the same week that he was, and was also the valedictorian of her class. She studied law and was admitted to the bar without any idea of practic ing, but simply to be more thorough ly companionable to him. She is a year or two younger than he. Mrs. Bryan has an immense amount of de termination and aggressiveness, is studious and reserved. She does not care for fashion' or society. Atten tion was at first drawn to her at the time Bryan made his famous tariff speech in the house, when it devel- oped his wife had helped him write it. Mrs. Bryan has a great liking for politics and accompanies her husband on his campaign tours. Her tastes are essentially literary. Mrs. Adlai E. Stevenson is a daugh ter of Dr. L. W. Green, who was pres ident of Center college, Danville, Ky., when the democratic candidate for vice president was attending studies there. She is of revolutionary stock, being a great-granddaughter of Joshua Pry, and has been president of the Daughters of the American Revo lution. It was while he was learning logarithms of the father that Adlai Stevenson lirst met the daughter. The marriage did not take place un till 1866, 15 years later. There are four children. Mrs. Stevenson went to Washington with her husband when he was elected to congress in 1874, again when he became postmas ter general, and later vice president, and altogether has lived 16 years in the capital. She is essentially a home loving woman, devoted to her family, and entertained little in Washington. Her taste in dress is extremely quiet ♦ and she seldom wears jewels. THE TRAILING SKIRT. Condemned by ' Mc-dlc-al Authurltle* Who Declare It to lie n Verl tulile Microbe Collector, The physicians of Europe have band ed together against the trailing skirts. During the scientific congress held at Rome the delegates from the various countries of Eurape have come to the conclusion that long skirts arc emi nently dangerous to health. Dr. Philip Casagrandi demonstrated in a most original and impressive fash ion the inconveniences and the sanitary •teriis of this garment, lie sent into the streets a number of ladies carry ing trailing skirts, with instructions to walk about for an hour. When the ladies returned the danger ous vestments were submitted to a mi croscopic examination, and on each oi the skirts Dr. Casagrandi discovered whole colonies oi microbes and bacilli. The physicians determined that the germs of influenza, consumption and typhoid fever are the freast of the evils which careless mothers, after an hour's promenade, bring home to the cradles of their children. in view of these alarming revela tions made by Dr. Casagrandi the hy fjienists present at the congress prompt ly condemned the wearing of long skirts. Iced Water IN the Dent. Ice-cold water is not so good as iced water that is, water cooled by ice without coming in contact with it. The less of either the better. It is an ex cellent practice to drink water an abundance of it—just before retiring; also the lirst thing in the morning. It is a cleaner of the system, especially the stomach, and iit a yood diuretic. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1900 RE-ROOFING BARNS. H«w Capaclly of a Structure May !)• Nrarly Donlilrd Without I.eutitb rninic thr J'oata. 1 send you a rough plan showing a way we have here of re-rooffing old barns; indeed nearly all new barns are built with the same kind of roof. The capacity of the barn is nearly doubled without lengthening the posts. Each pair of rafters is made of four pieces of oak, 2x5, and of equal length, put together as repne #a d /// /8 r \a A K 7 "W W " •• - f 36 -- ~ —av s <*» fllt/'l 7/qo r /I T II 3 i J&A <>EA7£/S/ T 1- II INSIDE BENT OF BARN ROOF. ecnted in the drawing. J B, B, are pieces of board 12 or 14 inches wide at the widest point, spiked or nailed on each side of the joint in the raft ers. A piece same thickness as raft ers should be fitted in between these boards, filling space formed by the tinple in the rafters and all firmly nailed together. Cis a piece of board j eight inches wide spiked on each side of pair of rafters at ridge. The car ; track can be hung on these. The ridge of barn should be one- | half as many feet above the plates as the barn is in width. The I dotted half circle touching at the ! points marked a, a, a, a. a, shows the form of the roof if properly made, j Rafters two feet from centers. I<aft- ' ers put together as described would break in solid wood before they would part at the joints. This is considered one of the strongest roofs made.—H. E. Taber, in Ohio Farmer. GROWING WOOD PULP. An Ofl-lland SitKK<-atlon Which Sermi to lie Worthy of Sertoli* Thought and Cunnlilrration. A few days ago I cut a silver pop lar which had been planted for orna mental purposes in the spring of 3889. and which had grown nearly 18 inches in diameter a foot above the ground, and probably contains a cord of woc*i. ! The tree became a nuisance where it stood, and sit had to come down. I But it made me think of the possibili- | ties of growing such trees for commer- , cial purposes. Poplar is being- much used for paper-making. How many years will it take at the present rate of using the native poplars for this purpose alone before the natural sup ply will be exhausted? Possibly we way be able to find other materials for paper-making-, such as cornstalks, ete., but I would feel pretty safe to predict a ready sale of all poplar wood that one could grow for the next 100 years. I do not know what price pa per-makers have to pay a cord'for the wood they use. But think how quickly one could produce a big lot of poplar wood. The tree grows marvelously fast. In ten years from planting you would have quite a good forest, and even before that time much of the wood could be utilized for various pur poses, as the trees could be set quite thickly at the start and 1 gradually thinned out. Trees can be cheaply pro cured, too. I only offer this as a sug gestion.—Farm and Fireside. PERMANENT PASTURES. To Keep TII.MII in Gonil ConillUo* I* u Problem That lln» I'uz/.led Many Farm era. Probably the easiest way to keep a permanent pasture in good condition is to stock it hard enough so that the. grass will be eaten before it throws up a seed-stock or becomes hard and woody, and then give extra feed at the barn so that the animals will return at least as much fertility to the soil as the grasn. takes froir it. Of course manure or fertilizer may be carried out, and spreadl on the pasture, but that costs money, and many farmers are often at a loss to obtain fertilizing elements enough for their mowing lands and cultivated fields. If they buy feed to nse in summer when cattle are in the pasture, they hope to and usually do fit enough in the way of growth, fat or milk production to pay for it, and look upon the increased quantity and extra quality of the manure heap as an extra profit. In this matter of overstocking the pasture it is best done and produces best results where there are two pastures, so that the animals can be changed from one to the other about once a week, or as often as the feed is eaten down smooth. This helps to prevent them from gnawing so closely as to de stroy the roots, which they may dc in some favorite spot if they are kept too long in one pasture.—Midland Farmer. Plum trees like rich soil, and they gTow well in a poultry yardi wher« the fowls pick off the insects. ST. MARY'S AOADKMY, Notre Dame, Intllutm. We call tlie attention of our readers tc the advertisement of St. Mary's Academy which appears in another column of this pa per. The 4<ith year opens September 4th, 19<K). We do not need to expatiate upon the scholastic advantages of St. Mary's fur the catalogue of the school shows the scope of work included in its curriculum, A\hich is of tlie same high standard as that of Yassar arid Hryn Mawr, and is carried out faith fully in the class rooms. We simply empha size the spirit ot earnest devotion winch makes every teacher at St. Mary's loyally strive to develop each young girl attendant there into the truest, noblest, and most in telligent womanhood. Every advantage of equipment in the class rooms, laboratories and study rooms, every care in the matter of food and clothing, and exceptional excel lence of climatic conditions —all of these fea tures are found at Si.

There is a broad smile on the face of near ly every farmer in Nebraska, because of the satisfactory crop conditions in that remark able state* In the Northwest, drouth has seriously injured the wheat yield. In the South again there has been more or less dam age, but in Nebraska they have had season able, heavy rains, and not too much of them. A full crop of oats and wheat will, from present indications, be followed by a bumper crop of corn. During the past week heavy rains all over the state have put this crop in fine condition, and it may break the record. I he expectation is that great numbers of people will goto Nebraska this fall, when the cheap harvest excursion rates are in ef fect, to investigate the country and confirm by actual experience the stories of prosper ity so often heard.
